Star Wars custom robes tutorial 1:12th scale

This video is a step by step guide on how I make my Jedi and sith robes for my custom Star Wars figures as well as my black series Jedi I use 50/50 knit/polyester fabric for my robes.

[@awesomeerr8765]

niceeeee robes definitely worth doing myself instead of paying someone else

[@theviking6052]

I like to fold the sleeve over and make a cuff, but thank you for this video! I’m a 3.75 collector and I just applied this method to the V. C. Figures and this video was absolutely amazing! Sense seeing this video I have been making robes and other style stuff for my figures like a skirt type with a long cape, I make sleeveless coats for some figures, and even wire rimmed hoods! But this video was the inspiration for all of the things I make for my figures! Example, I just today made a pull over black robe for a custom Boba Fett from the mandolorian! He looks amazing! So again I say awesome video! Very inspiring and showed us who can use a sowing machine how easy it is to make these. Like I said I’m making them for 3.75 and they come out beautifully! Ty

[@MightyEmperor]

What wire did you use? I was thinking thun fuse wire.

[@LifewithBrock]

Thank you for the very easy to follow tutorial!

[@CarlosFernandez-jk7zb]

Hey!! Thank you for this! I love the way mine came out ! By far one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen! Very easy to follow!

[@Rikkileeleef]

[@fasih0771]

Thank you !!!!!! So much I’ve always wanted to try this but I always thought it would require a lot of effort to make it but after I saw this video I was so happy so thank you 🙏 the robes look amazing 🤩 🔥

[@louisev.r8614]

this was awesome! I just made some Sith robes with long sleeves for Maul :D

[@prodigy-kt8pf]

Thank you very much for sharing this. I always tried to find a good tutorial and easy to understand. Awesome job bro

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

Excellent job. Looks way better than Hasbro's Black Series robes which wouldn't fasten at the front and don't hang right.

[@regis-nn]

Hi. Did my first robe for Luke today, thank you a lot.

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

regis-nn awesome I’m glad to hear my tutorial was helpful for you

[@kittyp330]

Thank you so much for making this video! It was extremely helpful! ❤

[@moon_lovver1774]

I really liked the way it turned out tbh

[@Lee-hx6br]

I dig it

[@justinmejia3195]

Yo, this was super helpful! Thanks to you I made a robe for my neca scream figure!

[@brandedclay]

very nice job. tho u could sew in thin wires along the ridge of the hood to shape it as u see fit

[@stbedumb]

This is a really good tutorial im going to do this for my marvel legends sylvie

[@ricardohernandez8727]

I will try to make a jedi poncho for my AHSOKA figure using your technique!

[@TeeVeesGreatest]

Great video! I dont have a sewing machine, but was wondering do you sell them? I need 4 made!

[@Bigshot0925]

Wow.. This is awesome! Thanks for sharing man. 👊😎

[@ivan_palomino4274]

Nice job man. Congrats!!!!!

[@mrdubz4726]

A Mandalorian cape maybe? Great video

[@J0hnnyTheKid]

14 years ago my mother was teaching me this, 14 years pass on You're teaching me.

[@muhammadariefmohdanuar9024]

Hi! May I know what kind of fabric that is? Great tutorial btw!

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

Thank you, 50/50 knit/polyester blend fabric. I also use 80/20 polyester/cotton blend fabrics

[@gvajmo1]

[@DeadgrinCustoms]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you

[@JungleSoundzperc]

GREAT !!!...👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍...

[@JoseGarcia-ek9xw]

Great video would like to make some for vintage Star Wars figures what kind of material you used thanks

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

Jose Garcia I use a combination of knit polyester blend fabrics. They can be difficult so sew but tend to have the best look when the robe is on the figure.

[@JuanPerez-hb6pm]

Amazing , mi friends bravo!!!!

[@shorty1Alter1Ego]

Awesome tutorial man! What was the name of the fabric that you said?

[@johnvader4584]

So good, thank you so much

[@jomabrosanimations6915]

THANK YOU!!!

[@Brme-hb6yy]

What are the measurements you use for the hood example length x width at bottom.and top width or can you tell me how you came up with the hood

[@GalaxyStudios-co4fp]

Thank you soooooooooooooo much!!!!!

[@mauriceshannon5503]

Badass!

[@RickG13]

Anybody have pictures of how there's turned out? I tried and it fit horribly. Found good fabric that doesn't look or sit too big for 6", but it just doesn't work out.

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

Rick Guell when it's finished try ironing it. That will help the fabric lay better when it's right side out

[@RickG13]

Iron the folds in the seams? I thought about trying that because at the seams it tends to curl in. Ok awesome, I'll try that man thanks! Also, I made the back portion a little more narrow then the front where the opening is. The opening kept coming out too tight with no room to close or make that finished seam in front. Hopefully it turns out ok 😬

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

Rick Guell yes iron the seams when it's right side out. Your right otherwise they want to fold back in on themselves.

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

Rick Guell for the issues on the front being too tight to make your finish seams. You'll want to make sure when you first cut your pattern you cut it big in terms of sleeve length, robe width and robe length. You can always go back and sew another seam making it more narrow but if you make it too narrow to begin with you'll have to scrap the whole robe and start over.

[@Lightningprimestudio]

Hey could I also make this for a figure that's 20cm??

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

You could make it for any size figure

[@BaphometJedidiah]

Tsss man amazon trynna charge $20 each for these, thank you bro

[@NightwingReborn]

Where did you get the material

[@NightwingReborn]

Can you use any figure to make the robe as a base.

[@pugslum09]

what fabric you use great tutorial

[@Escape-TheHellview]

What about wire in the hoods?

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

You could do that. I’ve done it before

[@demarchiordie]

Hooded cape for the Jedi Luke? Can you give us some light on that? Thanks!

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

Jedi-Fi I haven't made that one yet but plan too. The pattern in essence is a semi circle but the flat end you'd want leave a little extra so it could wrap around his neck. Then attach the hood. I plan on making a tutorial for it.

[@demarchiordie]

That'd be great, please do. Thanks, man.

[@NightwingReborn]

What material did you use? Also does it work for 6-in figures?

[@Mexicanwordofthedayy]

He says it in the video and in the video description you i***t. How about you look before you type. Find the answers yourself and stop being hand fed the answers you're looking for.

[@giodude2205]

can I use paper I don't have cloth :|

[@aslan_wise]

what kind of fabric did you use

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

For Jedi and sith robes I use 50/50 knit polyester blend. It’s rigid but also light so it has a natural look when it’s on the figure.

[@aslan_wise]

@@cubescitycustoms5453 tanks👍

[@JungleSoundzperc]

I going to sew by hand ...More realistic...👍👍👍...Obi, Luke., and my Darth Fett . 😎

[@karangrewal7950]

Do you think I could use a black t shirt for a anakin robe

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

Karan Grewal yeah you can use any fabric you want. It’s going to lay differently though depending on your choice. I use 50/50 knit/polyester blend fabric. It lays nice to its looks more natural and not stiff

[@palpatine1975]

Great review.. What kind of fabric should I use best

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

I use a 50/50 nylon polyester blend.

[@palpatine1975]

@@cubescitycustoms5453 tks! Is making luke's robe the same concept as well? Or would u do a review on how to do one?

[@fasih0771]

Btw do you think it is a good idea to put bendy wire in it so you can move the cloak ? 🤔

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

It’s not that it is or isn’t a good idea you can do it if you want. I’ve made cloaks with wire in them. It can add a cool effect.

[@fasih0771]

@@cubescitycustoms5453 oh ok thanks

[@danehunt2807]

Hi what colour is it (factory colour)

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

I have no idea I bought this fabric years ago.. sorry, I did buy it at Joanns Fabrics though if that helps at all.

[@PhuVet]

What kind of fabric do you use

[@MdmYouth]

Can I have the measurement of the robe?

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

MdmYouth I don't have specific measurements it was trial and error for the first couple I made until I found the right size. I then saved that robe and use it as a template.

[@MdmYouth]

Cubescity_Customs yeah I understand... thanks for the great tutorial! It's beneficial

[@LegoCustoms24]

Does it stain the figure ?

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

No the fabric I used doesn’t bleed. if you were worried about that you could get the hood wet, fit it on the figure and then remove the robe and let it dry.

[@Radorian]

"Soak that bitch! Get it wet!" -Cubescity Customs

[@Relic111]

What Ben Kenobi figure is that?

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

SH figuarts

[@user-et8vm9cc3t]

Awesome! But it's always the hood that seems to be the hard part... What if you cut it a tad smaller than in the video? Thank you very much!

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

Христо Мартунков, граф Лозенски you could certainly do that, however you may not be able to get the fold in the hood if you do that.

[@Lee-hx6br]

Yes send me instrutions Please 😂😂😂😂

[@el-us6yw]

what material is this???

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

50/50 knit polyester

[@theOneandOnlyhomieG]

would you sell them for people who don't feel like taking the time to make them like me? Lol

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

Elite Gshaw sorry I'm just to busy to do commissions for others. That's why I made the tutorial as easy as I could with step by step.

[@tonybethea3]

Any way of adding wires in?

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

ReVenge Rosey yeah it’s easy to do that.

[@tonybethea3]

Cubescity_Customs I need to learn how to do it

[@hellen3675]

what fabric did you use?

[@hellen3675]

nvm got it in the comments

[@tancredibua]

What is this material? Wool?

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

Tancredi Bua 50/50 knit polyester blend fabric.

[@hugolopez809]

What is the name of the fabric. It looks great

[@cubescitycustoms5453]

hugo lopez I use mostly knit/polyester blend fabrics.

[@MrRiley-Is-Not-Amused]

Great tutorial but people and especially Hasbro have got to stop using this kind of material for robes. It's just terrible to work with when it comes to how it lays on the figure.

[@MightyEmperor]

What would you recommend instead? And would putting a wire in help with that?

[@TransformersTalkRAW]

Uh....thats not easy bro. So your tutorial is : "Learn how to sew". Thanks.
